What is B & H Community Initiatives?

B&H Community Initiatives is a modern local charity operating in the area of the City of Brighton & Hove. We are a registered charity (charity number 1083390) and a company limited by guarantee (No. 03895574). We were set up in December 1999.

There are two sides to our activity. We are an infrastructure organisation that provides support to the local voluntary sector through running the City Volunteer Centre and the Performance Development Service. We can offer a well managed home to projects that do not want or need to set themselves up as an independent charity. We also manage a number of projects that improve the quality of life of disadvantaged people. For further information click the project links to the side.
